The Italian word “sprezzatura” is one of my favorites.
It means “a practiced nonchalance.” Or, put more plainly, “working hard to make difficult things look easy/effortless.”
Spaghetti western legend (and one of my favorite actors) Terence Hill (real name, Mario Girotti) is spezzatura in human form.
He also makes me very, very hungry for a plate of beans…if you got the money.
